Mr. Speaker, I know that the hon. member is an accountant and he already admitted that he knows his numbers. This concept of saving 10,000 lives is patently and absolutely ridiculous. Look at the math.
It is seven years since the gun registry came into force, approximately 2,500 days ago, which would suggest that there were absolutely zero killings today with long guns and there were four each and every day on average before it came into force. That is patently and absolutely untrue, stupid, ridiculous and his math is completely out to lunch.
How can he as an accountant stand there without doing the mathematical tests and claim to believe that number of lives have been saved? It is just outrageous.
